If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he’d reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.
Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I’m just a sherpa.
He did mention a handful of them “SteamOS like” distros at the start, and hopefully he covers Bazzite in the future.
But as I said before your average gamer wants a Valve backed up OS because they trust Valve more than open source devs they hardly know of.
I would like more people to try distros like Bazzite but just getting people to try any form of Linux is still a stepping stone imo.
